three weeks later you find yourself on a ship to germany, leaving new york for hamburg. you've got your family with you. your wife, a grown son and your 24-year-old daughter martha. and martha is one heck of a daughter. she's the one who hooked me. she's smart. she's sexy, she's a flirt and she has this thing. she's got it. she has a way about her that inflames the passions of men both young and not so young. at 24 she has already had an affair with the poet and author carl sanberg. in fact, one of the delights -- this is why i always do my own research is that when i was going through martha's papers with the library of congress, in one file i came across two locks of carl sandberg's hair. in a a little clear plastic archival envelope tied with coats and clarks hair and his hair was really as white as it appeared and was really quite coarse, very thick coarse hair. it's a magical moment for me. [laughter] >> i'm just that way. at 24 she's had this affair with carl sandberg she has broken two engagements to be married and she is in the midst of a divorce to escape a dead

the commander of chief and new york is facing 30,000 british troops. the largest fleet that has ever arrived on america's shores. washington has about half the manpower, and it has experienced battle and seen the ships as posing as the ones which are sailing towards new york. so there he is, george washington. as this city is bracing itself for the first and largest battle of independence, he's actually thinking about his garden in mt. vernon. one evening just a few days before the battle of new york he sends out his generals, pushes away his military maps and sits down and writes a letter to his estate manager in mt. vernon, his plantation in virginia. with the chaos of the cannon looming, he is asking his estate manager to design a new garden, and he is talking about trees like this spring crabapple some, oaks and pines and the magna leah. what is even more remarkable than the timing which i think is quite remarkable is that he is asking only for the native species. so, at the moment, at the very moment as the young nation is threatened by the almigh

"manana forever"? here's the version to be sold in the united states, here's the version to be sold in mexican. why a different cover? >> two reasons, i like the mexican cover for the u.s., but the people said it was too somber. and the u.s. cover in mexico has an arguably legal status. look at it, if you can put it on back, you see the mexican eagle is divided in two. this is the center of the mexican flag. you've got the top of the eagle at the bottom and the bottom of the eagle at the top. in mexico, disporting the national emblem and flag is a dubious legal status. we decided not to risk it. >> what is this
